Chocolate Avocado Protein Pudding

So I know I’m super late to the whole avocado pudding thing – but better late than never right?

This has been my go-to nighttime snack on days where I’m absolutely starving aka days I squat & days after I squat aka all the time. It’s got enough chocolatey flavor to satisfy my sweet tooth,  a good dose of protein, and tons of healthy fats to keep me full and quiet my stomach.

Bonus: Put in the fridge for a few hours and you have the most insanely delicious fudge/thick frosting chocolatey snack. Seriously. AMAZING.

Ingredients

• 1/2 avocado, mashed until very smooth
• 4 tablespoons coconut milk (you may not need all 4)
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1 scoop chocolate protein powder

Directions

1.	Mash avocado in a bowl until very, very smooth. Add cocoa powder and protein powder (if you don't want to use protein powder, simply add another tablespoon or two of cocoa powder & some of your favorite liquid sweetener)
2.	Add coconut milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach a very creamy consistency. It may take more or less than 4 tablespoons depending on your ingredients.

   I have been wanting to try a chocolate avocado pudding, but I’m nervous that it will take on more of an avocado flavor than a chocolate flavor. I can’t imagine having that in a “dessert”. What are your thoughts on the true taste of these puddings even if you weren’t a huge avocado lover?

     I think they taste VERY chocolatey and not really avocado-esque plus it’s quite sweet, depending on the sweetness of the protein powder. You can always add a little extra sweetener to make it sweeter.

   Amazing! And, I love how simple it is. I usually use the last two ingredients to make mine but I love the addition of avocado in there

   Any suggestions for protein powders that taste good in this? Some obviously taste better than others.
   Thanks!

     I like Progenex in the Belgian Chocolate flavor but any chocolate protein powder that you like would be fine!
